I'm not ignoring your statements regarding what idealism subsumes as semantics. I have been attempting to inform you, by way of the term used to describe this type of argumentation, that your statements do not provide a valid means of inference for your position. They assume the truth of my own, contradictory position. I did not choose to make them contradictory, you did..as you always do, with the notion that materialism -cannot- explain something. From that point forward, you cannot use concepts arising from, comprised of , and dependent upon the materialists viewpoint in your own explanation of that "x". You have already declared them to be insufficient. The truth of your position is not being argued, nor is it being ignored. You cannot -arrive- at your position in this manner, rationally. Full stop.
Now, though, I think we may have a better version of the same statement, that I think might fit your position. I'm interested to see if you would agree, and what elaboration (and perhaps even agreement) that might lead to.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
